people of Ohio. He was early recog-
nized as the especial friend and cham
pion of the interests Of labor, and the
results of his are felt in factory, mine
and workshop. During all his career
he has never had to apologize for word
or vote, and his record challenges com
parison.
Although the friend of labor, Mr.. Nc
Bride has never been the enemy of cap
ital. He recognized that one was essen
tial to the other, and demanded only
for those whose interests he held in
trust, only justice. He was never an
EXTREMIST, and depTecates the using OF
force to accomplish any end until all
other resources have failed. OF Mr..
McBride's personal character, his neigh
bors speak in terms Of warmest praise,
Even his political foes admit his wor-
thness as a citizen. He is quiet and
modest in his demeanor, doing nothing
upon impulse, but giving every step
careful consideration, faithful to his
friends, courteous always to his enc
mics. He is not an orator, but he talks
straight at the understanding of his
auditors. In all Ohio no more worthy
examples can be found of the "self-
made man"
Young, vigorous, receptive, each year
his views broadened by experience and
trial, his capabilities increased by newly
acquired knowledge and earnest en-
deayOr, he rises to every demand made
upon him and advances more surely
into the path Of usefulness and distinc-

The Story Told by a Man Who Was Seriously
Cut by an Unknown,
EXCITEMENT.

Thursday evening a man appeared at the
police court and gave quite an excited &C
count of his having been stabbed by an I'M
known person near the river bank. His fact
was SCARED and bloody. He showed ar
ugly cut upon the right side from which the
blood was still oozing. His clothes were
covered with blood and he appeared very
weak and exhausted.
He could not speak English very fuently
and gave very disconnected story as Il
how he came by his wound. The judge see
ing the mans condition, recommended him
to the Free Dispensatory, and from there he
was taken to the Ladies' Benevolent Home
Here he was seen yesterday, and gave a
statement Of how he came by his injuries
He says his rame is Philip Koffenbercher,
and that he has been in the city
for about three months engaged
in selling clothes racks, He appears mid
die aged man and speaks very broken. He
says on the day of the affair, he went to a
house near the river, the exact locality OF
which he could not give, but from his de
scription of the surroundings must be in the
neighborhood Of the parks In the house
was colored woman to whom he endeevored
to sell one of his racks. She told him to go and
see man who was fishing near the river and
he would purchase one from him. The two
started out together towards the river, when
suddenly colored man leaped out from the
bushes and advanced to him with a large
knife. The woman commenced screaming
aud begging him not to kill the stranger.
The colored man, however, paid no heed to
her, but struck HIM first in the face then cut
in the hand and finally gave him the serious
stab in the side His cries and those of the
woman soon attracted quite crowd, and
ard they succeeded in taking the savage and
bloodthirsty man away. The man says the
attack was entirely without eau on his
part. His assailant he does not know.
and thinks that he would not be
able to recognize him even if he should see
him.
His injuries while serious are not thought
fatal His lip is cut, abovehis eye is an ugly
cash his hand has several gashes which ap-
peared to have been made as he endeavored
to wrench the knife from his assailant. The
most severe wound is the one On the side: it
is in the right side about an
inches wide and three deep He has suf-
fered very much but was resting easily last
evening.
His story, whether true or Ease, he has told
to quite number, and is always the same
he appears to think that his punishment was
severe and that his assailant should be
found

STOLEN BASES.
The boys evidently played pretty game
with only two errors.
Who will care for Fort Smiths real es-
taters now?
The champions should be given hearty
welcome on their next appearance at home,
which will not be until the latter part of
next week, as they will arrive from the east
over the Frisco Sunday evening and 60 to
Arkansas City to play championship games
on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Wichita is likely to be offered an opportu-
nifty to get into the Western League, to fill
LeavenwOrth's place, because that poor town
can't support a ball team. The change,
should Wichita make it would be good ad
vertisement for the city, in taking place
Leavenworth could not sustain and would
besides rank her with Kansas City, Omaha
and Denver and other good. towns
If a fair proposition is made Wichita the
encourage the club in this move and provide
such funds as are necessary to effect the
change.
The attendance at the games recently has
not been as great as earlier in the season for
a number of reasons. The foremost is, that
lot OF persons, ignorantly talked about,
''5et-up games, etc." and simply display
their lack Of information. Every body who
knows anything, knows that not man on
the Wichita team has made a wanton error
in any game this season, and the sooner
those ''smart Alecks" realize they know so
little about professional base ball, the better
it will be for the national game in Wichita
Another thing is that the street car service
has been unavoidably very poor, but now the
street car company proposes to at once run a
spur right t. the grand stand and will keep
a large number of cars, not les than eight or
ten cars stand on side track to be built at
Main and Douglas, which viii leave at regu-
lar intervals and provide unlimited accom-
noda.ions for all who want To ride bone on
the cars and agree to furnish extra service
TO please the base bali patron. In addition
TO the above company's proposed improve
ments, the Schweiter motor line people are
very anxious 70 get the ball park removed
10 the park ~ the esd Of their line They
also agree TO furnish most excellent and
rapid transportation for any quantity OF
of people a special motor and coach went
out to the park this morning having on board
some of the base bah directory, who however
have let fsll no expression as TO what the board
intended doing in the matter. 1t is intimatei
that there is a heavy cash object backing the
motor line location, but II IS said to be not
quite the amount required. At any rate
patrons of the game are assured cheap and
ample transportation TO and from the
grounds, ani should no longer miss good
Games for the Lack Of proper facilities.

the Indians drew first blood and made
single tally. Wichita got blank The sec
ond inning was also productive of another
run for the Indians 1t began to look like
the champions from the prairies were going
to be easy prey for the "Choctaws." But in
the second inning the scene changed, and by
some pretty hitting, together with couple
of errors by Fort Smith, the Wichitas turned
the tide and made five runs, amid excite
ment of the true western stple. This was a
terrible realization for the average Fort
Smithian, but the Wichitas never
theless hit Fort Smiths crack pitch

Pranter. In tho third the Indians got none
Up to this time Wichita had made two and
Fl. Smith five errors and five and four base
hits respectively. Neither club scored again
until the sixth inning, when Fort Smith got
in one more run. Wichita got none in the
entire game after the second inning with its
five runs Fort Smith made nothing more
until one in the sixth inning, and from the
score, the game, after the second innings by
each team, they both played ball to perfec-
ton.
The run in the sixth was Fort Smiths last
and the two clubs continued to draw blanks
until the end of the game, which resulted in
a score of FIVE to three in favor of Wichita
The Wichite's made total of nine hits off
Freeman, and had two errors. Fort Smith
got eight hits off Hendricks, and had five
errors; three Of these were very costly and
made in the secord inning, when Wichita
